Good morning!
I’m looking at buying my first bike since I was a kid. I will be using it mostly to cruise around the neighborhood and some light trails with our eight-year-old daughter.
I’m a dude who is about 6 feet tall, and I weigh about 245 pounds.
I have two very reputable bike shops within a few minutes of me. One is a Trek dealer, the other a Giant Dealer.
I’ve sat on both bikes, and they both feel really good to me… The 26 Talon 4 is $650 and the 26 Marlin 4 GEN 3 is $629.
Which one would you go with? Help!

Talon and it’s not close. Also check out Polygon Xtrada 6
Neither, I’d go get the Ozark Trail Ridge Pro, which has boost spacing, a dropper, Cues 1x drivetrain, and comes in cheaper than either of those
Thank you!
Go for the 2026 polygon xtrada 7
